10:35 AM Keynote Panel Discussion: Best Practices For Partnering with Fintechs – Friend Or Foe?

Some financial institutions worry that fintech startups are a threat. Are they? Do you agree or disagree with that sentiment?  Get a detailed look at the fintech landscape – how to partner, who to partner with, and how to ensure the relationship is a beneficial one, to both parties.  Our executives from Mastercard and Bank of America walk through their separate fintech journeys – with both individual questions and group questions. At the end of the session, we’ll take an audience vote around whether fintech relationships are truly beneficial. 

  • How do you decide who to partner with?
  • How do you identify areas of focus (IoT, etc.)
  • What do you expect to learn, types of POC or pilots?
  • Payment strategy and how it aligns to the partnership model
